Elite posted:Polly Deisma was in the previous 2 sections too (in a more minor role), and we’ve only just started this one so there’s still scope for more characters to turn up. I’d be surprised if Polly turned up here and I think you’re right about Kane being the connection between these viewpoint characters but there might be some other connecting characters that turn up (can easily imagine Vels running into some of the cops or maybe Ossa later on). He gets better once he loses his hair and starts raising scorpions.

The dude in a suit with a big old coat, gloves in a diner, and a big old scar on his face; the man who says he totally doesn't do any real wet work. Yeah, he seems totally trustworthy. Kriah seems like an excellent judge of character, and Yi totally will look out for him.

We got a great glimpse of what Vels wanted. They want to keep a low profile, be left alone and stay the hell out of this. Unfortunately, they also have an idiot for a friend so...

In game yes, well be on the boat. Out of game, what a stupid rigged bet. Woman, you're telling the story. You can break it up anywhere you want, and with knowledge of the bet, you can thus make the outcome of the bet whatever you want! No sane person would ever take this bet.

ZCKaiser posted:It would be very funny if the mechanic of the game was that she will always rig the outcome against us, therefore we have to bet against whatever we want happening. The thing is, if we assume this tale is based on a true story(tm) in the universe, she's at least constrained by the truth of what happened. Here? The bet entirely hinges on the pace she tells the story, barring our viewpoint dying on the boat without getting tossed overboard. And she is part of that bet.

Cloacamazing! posted:The twist is that both Thanes were fake Thanes. The actual Thane died years ago and has since then been replaced by a long string of increasingly less competent idiots who manage to bumble their way into killing the previous Thane. The Duat noticed like five seconds in, but don't care, as it makes things harder to track by the police. We lost another one? Darn. Oh well, the next one will get him.

Man, Laverna and her audience are really highlighting why those last couple of characters fell a little flat for me. Instead of one character expositing giant paragraphs at me we've got mysteries inc hamming it up together.

I mean, his plan is to swindle pandora as a whole and he just put a big mayoral candidate into comical debt, however much suspension of disbelief was broken by him being an obnoxious munchkin rules lawyer. I imagine the next stage involves forcing him to do stuff to work off the debt.

Marluxia posted:It was a swindle UNTIL Bach explicitly agreed to the rules, as they were stated. There was no rules stating that there was X number of cards, no rule... etc. Nah, the whole thing was pretty goddamn ludicrous. Right down to Locke going "did I say that? I didn't say that in front of this guy. Can you prove I said that?" He pretty blatantly and clearly reneged on the bet terms as given. And suddenly made the stakes comically higher by lying about the initial agreement to the neutral third party.

Elite posted:The most obvious read is that Aija organised it but didn’t want to justify or explain herself to Devon. Meaning she has two hitmen at her back and call, that don’t know about each other. Yeah, but someone else being on to them and is playing their own game is a much more fun read.

It could also be Locke or no murder at all. Both him and Laverna were hitlist targets, and a goofy unsolvable murder(possibly because there was no murder) is an excellent way to put our plucky detective exactly where you want them. Locke didn't work for Bigass Corp Inc, but I don't exactly trust our caller, who is probably our killer.

Welp. I suppose accessory to murder isn't a huge stretch for a bought cop.  With all the police and Aija talk, I'm kind of surprised the chief being a political appointee hasn't gotten more spotlight. NeoRonTheNeuron posted:Oh good. I didn't think there was a murder here. Among other possibilities, it's already been stated that this duat den would never have been raided and dismantled without the murder call. It could be our hitman creating bait that would lure Lav in so he could do the hit on her.

The Duat power struggle seems more advanced than in the imposter's card and this guy seems to be a terrible shot against anything that isn't moving. It feels out of character for our imposter, but it has to be him or yet another new thane.

It took a bit to get there, but "Thane" is one of the stronger routes so far because the main players have a good amount of banter and even the faceless goons have a good amount of character.

So a glaring thing stood out to me there. Why did nobody try Milo's key? That seems a better judge than the label on if it's a different safe or not. For that note, it's interesting that the police force managed to snag Thane's identity and that so little came of it. You would think the tabloid reporter out front would have been all over that.

I'm going to go with No for the vote. Of the cocktail ro in killings we've seen all have been fully independent actions, including the gimmick, by Devon save one. And while she was on scene for that one, the body wasn't found by the police which seems counterintuitive if she was killing people and/or dramatically flagging the bodies with props.

NeoRonTheNeuron posted:Oh, I expected a mansion with security. Because she's the Mayor, and Mayors usually would have some onsite security. The only way it makes sense to me is if this is a more private dwelling than her formal mansion, and she doesn't keep cameras because she meets Devon there. Don't want to have a pile of evidence showing that you did know and meet that serial killer after all. That's just one warrant away from biiiig problems.

Well, between lending Devon to the olympo feud and everything, this update the Devil's assertion that all the big players in the city were working together under somebody's direction seems accurate enough. This Djiin sounds like something other than a code word for the duats and the likely ringleader.

I loved Mercury just casually dunking on Odin about his sons, completely oblivious to how rare someone one upping Odin like that was.ApplesandOranges posted:I always start on the fries before the burger. It's the only proper technique. The burger retains its tastiness for a fair amount of time, but French fries are so much better fresh from the fryer compared to even a few minutes later.

I think Devon will absolutely get together a room full of people who want him dead. I don't think he'll be remotely successful at killing them, but we do need to hit the point where all these separate stories start pooling their information to find the truth at some point.

Interesting. So Mercury's timeline just reached 'Thane's timeline. He killed thane in the woods right where that deck kicks off. And his deck still has cards?
